He confirmed that he summoned his sons to a dinner and told them to settle their issues.

"Oo. Nagkahingahan sila," Estrada said.

The younger Estrada earlier admitted that he was hurt by some comments made by his half-brother.

Ejercito is running for senator under the United Nationalist Alliance, the coalition formed by their father and former President Joseph Estrada with the political party of Vice President Jejomar Binay.

Estrada’s mother is former Senator Loi Ejercito, while Ejercito’s mother is former actress Guia Gomez.

The younger Estrada said he is upset that his brother allegedly made comments to “generate publicity” over their supposed sibling rivalry “at his expense.”
